- Abstract
Realization of the 3R Initiative is the key to the creation of a Recycling Society in the Twenty-First Century. The initiative identifies specific areas in which government is to control the use of secondary resources, and it recommends use of the proven method of providing incentives to “socially responsible manufacturers.” The Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys has developed and validated computational methods that make it possible to evaluate the extent to which metallurgical technologies satisfy the 3R criteria. The methods take into account specific features of the technologies and the structure of the technical-economic documentation used by Russian companies in the ferrous metallurgy industry. Among them is a method that determines the parameters of flows of metal elements in the technosphere and includes the mathematical description “Recycling – a Simulation Model.” There is also a method that determines the parameters of flows of elements at ferrous metallurgy plants and employs the model POTOK “(FLOW). Yet another method that was developed evaluates the capacity of technogenic deposits in different metallurgical regions.
